Wit stop the Press to communicate tootir Rego's the following important intelligence, which we have just received by the Heligoland nail BANKS OP THE &nu, JUNE 2.—The Austrian head-quarters are, according to private accounts rF . - ceivell this morning, at Liutz. The Emperor FRANCIS, previous, to the battle of Aspern, received proposals from NAPOLEON 10 con clude a truce, on certain conditions, which overture he instantly forwarded to the Archduke CuAnks, who returned it with the following note : " Brother, tatie my Marshal's staff from me, and let me rather know the Austrian name no more, nor your's, but let me retire with my Brothers to Hungary." The Duke of VALMY (KPLtAttotAN) has, it is said, received orders to occupy Prussia. By a Royal Resolution, published at Amsterdam on the 12th ult. the following literati have been chosen Forjgti Members of the Royal Dutch Institute of Sciences and Fine Arts :-.-Sir J. BANKS, in England; Messrs. BERTHOLEE and PLACE, in France; JACW.II4, in Aestrin; PALLAS, in Russia; VOLTA, in Italy; J. G. WALTER, in Prussia ; and Mricn,so JEFFERSON, in America. The tine town of Schvartz, in the valley of the Tnn, and the neighbourhood of which is the cele brated silver which was burnt down on the I sth ult. during a conflict between the Tyrolese and Bavarians, consisted of 640 houses, and comprized 2 population of 5000 souls, 1200 of whom, includ ing sou women and children, perished in the flames. Lord Mansfield 'has, with a view to- the future supply of timber for the, British Navy, very patrioti cally raised, since 1803, -at Scone, near Perth, gti,ooo oaks, part of them hom acorns in his Lordship's nursery, and part from young plants.---• The SOciety of Arts has, in consequence, awarded his Lordship the gold medal. Gentleman who has made a variety of experi ments with potatoes, to ascertain the most econo mical mode of cooking them, states as the result— that a potatoe, weighing 1200 grains, loses by boil ing only - ten grains; while one of the same weight, loses by roasting 400 grains—that is nearly one third, or almost 40 per cent. of the original -weight of the root. A solution of yellow soap mixed with paint, and laid on canvas, not only renders it pliant, durable, 'and longer impervious to water, but prevents it from tracking or breaking, and produces, in addition, a saving of one guinea in every hundred square-yards so painted. This solution is also a preservative of red, yellow, and black paints, when ground in oil, and put in casks. The right hip-bone of an elephant, measuring from the os pods to the end of the hip three feet and a half, was discovered in the late inundations near Loenen, in the distria of the Upper Betewe, A double tooth, together with some other bones belonging to that species of animal, have been :found in the same distria. Mr. Springate, of Paintetbnrv, being out on his land at Tyler-hill, dUring a thunder -storm, on Friday sennight, was struck down by the lightning, which singed his hair and clothes, and at the same time killed a sheep close to his heels. Among the patents recently obtained is one for rnanufaCturing boots, shoes, &c. by means cf a substitute for thread, made of hemp, flax, or other yarn ; and another for n mode of construttion or arrangement of any building, so as to afford security against fire. The prisoners charged with felonies will be re - - moved, on ThUrsday, from the different gaols, to take ts. 4 trials at the ensuing OM Bailey Sessions; which will commence on the sell! inst. The trials are likely to possess considerable. interest. An Inquisition was taken on Friday evening, on the Stoke Road front Watford, at the Xing's Head public-house, ort the (girt)" of Mr: Isaac.

SIR, His Atojesty's Ship, Tartar, lunc 2, 1$0 9. hive the honour to acquaint you, that on the 15th of May, 1809, 1 chased on shore near Felix, berg, on the coast of Cdorland, a Danish sloop pri vateer, of four guns, two of them 12-poundets, on slides, and two long four-Pounders; the crew, twenty-four in number, landing with their inns ,kets, and being joined by some of the country peo ple, posted themselves behind the sand-hills, near the beach. The vessel appearing calculated to do much mischief to the trade, I sent the boats of this Ship, under the Command of Lieutenants Sykes and Parker, with orders either to bring her off or to destroy her, the former of which they effetied with constderable address and aelivity, and without loss, very soon getting the vessel's guns to bear upon the beach. Before the Danes abandoned her, they placed a lighted candle in a twelve-pounder cartridge of gunpowder, in the magazine, whcfJ there Was some hundred weight beside, which was happily dis covered by one of the boat's crew, who immediately grasped it in his hand, and extinguished it, whets it had burned down within half an inch of the pow der; another minute would in all probability have been the daunt - lion of every man on board and alongside the Vessel ; a dishonourable mode of war fare necessary to be known, to be properly guarded against.

AllT*itaP,,JUtta 2.!—The Gazette of this city coots n 5 the following article i " t may be considered as certain, in present state of things, that she Imperial Decree of die 1011 • of Seplanher, 1808, will nut only be execmild with the utmost rigour, but also that its il)fitleilial Will he extended to all the allies of France, on the Conti nent : tor if ever there existed a mouient for success fully giving a death-blow to the industry of Great Britain, it is the present. Almost all the C 03.14 of Europe belong to France, or her friends and allies. Trieste and Fiume, and - Sweden also, are 10-t to England ; and the shores of the Baltic will speedily be furnished with a numerous army, which will most effeetnally prevent the over knit of prohibited prodations. But that, in the presinit state of things, no other system than that hitherto pursued, can be admitted, without operating to the ruin of com merce, and particulariy French mantitaCtores—that the permission of entering our ports under the Arne rican flag should entirely cease—are propositions, with the truth of which, all the Chambers of Com merce Ili frame, and particularly the Council of Commerce in Paris, are fully and deeply impressed. ' " Of the reaAiness with which our allies will. adopt this system, we may be etiabled to form an opinion from the conside'ration that au American cargo, consisting chiefly of dye stuffs, landed at Touningen, has been deposited in the Royal ware houses at Denmark, to await the decirit.n of the Government; and also, that Russia demands of Sweden, as one of the conditions of peace, that sire shall shut her ports against English vessels. Profts all these considerations, it t011ows„ that neither co lonial produas, not any other articles of commerce and manufacture, will fall in price; but, on the contrary, that they will rise the moment the Op• sitions which are expe6lcd from the energ' and wisdom of the Emperor are made known. Traiel lets who were at Vienna a little before the entrance of the French into that capital, assert that the price of Macedonian cotton had then risen- from start to 360 florins. It is said that all that remains of it itt the warehouses of Vienna,_ consists of About 10,000 bales, principally of an inferior quality, and wholly unfit for the purposes of the French and Swiss ma nufatiturets. Those of the best quality hase been bought tip by the English, at Smyrna and itt Mace. dome, and their re-importation to the Continent of Europe is prohibited. In general, the commercial policy of the English leads them to the most scru pulous attention with regard to this product : in or der that the possession of the raw materials may ass much as possible favour the sale of their own ma titllattures. nor:tap/at, Jug* t.--.
